Characteristics

Transportation

May is especially car friendly. The majority of homes for sale are a short car ride from the closest highway, such as US Hwy 71, and it is very easy to park. However, this township is not a very pleasant area for moving around by public transit. Nonetheless, the township is served by a few bus lines, and bus stops are generally a short distance away. May is not especially conducive to those who like to get around as pedestrians as few day-to-day errands can be run without a vehicle. It is also difficult to commute by bicycle in this township as there is a considerable amount of slopes, and the cycling infrastructure is fairly poor.

Services

It can be difficult to reach high schools and primary schools without the need to get in a vehicle from homes for sale in May. Locals have the option of public and private schools at both the elementary and secondary school level. With regards to food, in most cases, a vehicle is required to purchase groceries in one of about 10 stores. Nevertheless, pharmacies are typically easy to reach without a car and provide some staple foods. May is a good place in which to eat out, and a small variety of coffee shops can be found as well.
